Mike McCarthy is literally sitting on his phone waiting for Jerruh's call
Seems like the Cowboys are always involved in weird games like these.lespaul said:
just looked at the stats closely. VERY weird game
how do the cowboys have 24 first downs, and NONE from running. never seen that before that I can recall
Also, how do you limit the other QB to 220 yards and their RB to under 4 YPC and lose?
Cowboys had 443 yards to 364 for Minn and yet TOP was 33 to 26 Minn.
I suppose when you have 50 yards rushing, crazy stuff happens and you often lose.
FINAL POINT: I think hail mary INT's shouldn't count as an INT in the stats. Just my opinion

Tipped balls that end up becoming INTs shouldn't count or at least should have a different designation...like an Error in baseball or something.diehard03 said:Quote:

You threw the ball, and the other team caught it. That's all that INT's measure. There's too few of those to worry about anyway.

I meant balls that are tipped by an offensive player first...which is why I compared it to an error, but I wasn't super clear.diehard03 said:Quote:

Why? It's often the QBs fault the ball is tipped. (Or rather, if it's tipped by a DL, who else can you put it on?)
And, if we are going to remove those, do we add INTs to balls that should have been intercepted, but don't...or that a WR strips out of a DBs hands?

So in math: Total INT- Hail Mary INT- dropped Pass INT+ dropped INT= Inexcusable throws
what if its tipped because the throw is horribleSaint Pablo said:I meant balls that are tipped by an offensive player first...which is why I compared it to an error, but I wasn't super clear.diehard03 said:Quote:

That no call in the endzone was ridiculous. You watch the defender basically just throw himself into Wittens path and bring him down. Witten doesnt just run into himMacarthur said:
One of the really frustrating things about the NFL....SF gets two very iffy holding/PI calls to extend that first drive
Meanwhile, Witten gets dragged down in the end zone and no call.
The margin for error on these games is so small that these crews have not only a big impact on each game, it affects the entire league
Make it a judgement call like errors because there is definitely a difference.PatAg said:what if its tipped because the throw is horribleSaint Pablo said:I meant balls that are tipped by an offensive player first...which is why I compared it to an error, but I wasn't super clear.diehard03 said:Quote:

Philly's schedule looks like they'll have a strong chance of finishing at 10-6. I'm not seeing Dallas being able to finish 5-2, although @NE is really the only one that screams Loss.
Cowboys must :Ag12thman said:
Cowboys will win the East, but it's so, so, so bad that I'm not sure it really means much this year.
The eagles have much more nfc east left then we do and they probably will have to be perfect against the giants and beat the skids again.Proposition Joe said:
We only own the tiebreaker right now because we haven't played @ Philly.
If we lose @ Philly, they will have the tiebreaker (unless one of us ****s the bed against NYG/WAS).
Fun fact: as of this past full week of NFL action, the NFC East as a division has the LEAST amount of wins as a conference in the entire league. Here's the breakdown:Ag12thman said:

If the redskins game at the end of the year means anything at all, we're not losing it. That team is too bad and even Garrett isn't that pathetic.
Interesting stats from the 538 chat. Amazing to think the Cowboys are statistically great and situationally awfulQuote:
Salfino: Bigger disappointment: the Rams or the Cowboys?
sara.ziegler: Well, the Rams are down to just 25 percent to make the playoffs, and the Cowboys still have a 50 percent shot.
Salfino: Dak Prescott looked so unstoppable that I'm shocked the Cowboys lost. Jerry Jones has put up with a lot, but this might be a new standard. Dallas is just 5-4 with all this talent on both sides of the ball: They lead the NFL in yards per play and overall offense, they're seventh in overall defense and they're third in net yards per pass play gained minus those allowed (the two teams above them in that measure have combined for one loss). Has any coach ever won less with more than Jason Garrett this year?
Would you fire Garrett?
joshua.hermsmeyer: No, I don't think you can. But I would certainly tell him to not meddle in offensive play calling.
Salfino: Cowboys are plus-81 in points. Yet 5-4. Do we give the coaching credit for all the stats or crush it for the meh record?
sara.ziegler: I think that as long as they make the playoffs, it won't matter.
Salfino: Getting to Josh's point, Dallas should abandon the run more because Ezekiel Elliott seems to have lost a little, and Dak and the passing game has passed him by. This should be Dak's team now.
neil: For the record, Dak continues to have an amazing season. He ranks third in our Elo QB metric, behind only Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
